Ahhh Ron. I love him even when he is jealous to the point of being slightly insane. I always felt so bad for him because of his hand-me-downs and his too-small-pajamas that he was wearing on the stairs when he came down in GoF to see Harry at the fire after he'd talked to Sirius. I do consider it a pretty large win that he got the main character female, even though Harry was never interested in her. But as it goes, Hermione is a far cry from Ginny and Ron definitely won there. ALL THE HUGS FOR RON. I liked the pacing of this one-shot. I mean, it was short, but like, I blinked and it was over because of the sort of stream-of-consciousness of it. Very dark undertones.

Author's Response: HAI I SEE YOU THERE. ♥

I always love how you appreciate Ron. And I don't know if I've ever properly told you that before, but I'll go ahead and say it now. Because, as with Snape, I think you and I see him similarly, which means that you know exactly what I'm trying to convey when I write him, even if it's not explicitly expressed. And that's just really cool. :)

I think the thing about these 500-word pieces is that they really almost write themselves. Hardly any thinking goes into them at all, sad to say -- I just write until I hit 500, tweak a bit, and post. Probably not the best strategy, but I DO WHAT I WANT~

You are fabulous. End of story. Thanks a million bajillion, Sarah, for all the support and encouragement! ♥
